Definitions

  • Pure minerals, pigments and/or fillers are used extensively in paper, paper coatings, plastics and paints but also in the food and feed industry, water mineralization and pharmaceutical industry.
  • calcium carbonate a low cost and high brightness filler, is widely used to increase sheet brightness and opacity in paper products. Its use has increased dramatically in the last decades due to the conversion from acid to alkaline papermaking at paper mills.
  • Both natural and synthetic calcium carbonates are used in the paper industry. For instance, natural calcium carbonate, such as marble, chalk and limestone, is ground to a small particle size prior to its use in paper products, while synthetic calcium carbonate is manufactured by a precipitation reaction and is therefore called precipitated calcium carbonate.
  • the apparatus includes structure for washing filter cake comprising a source of wash water, a pump, and a conduit from the source of wash water to the inlet of the pump, heating device, and a conduit for conducting wash water from the outlet of the pump to the heating device.
  • the heating device has sufficient capacity to provide wash water at a temperature approaching that of the slurry entering the filter.
  • a conduit is provided for conducting the wash water from the heating device to the thin film pressure filter.
  • the apparatus also includes control apparatus adapted to control the speed of both motors on both pumps in turn controlling the pressure of the slurry entering the filter and the pressure of the wash water entering the filter.
  • the term "in fluid communication” means that the units and/or devices being part of the inventive installation are coupled with each other such that a flow of fluid such as of a suspension optionally in combination with at least one inverse aerosol (such as a very fine foam) from one unit and/or device of the inventive installation to another unit and/or device of the inventive installation is possible; such flow may be achieved by way of one or more intermediate (and not specifically mentioned or described) components, apparatuses, devices or other articles like tubes, pipes and pumps.

  • At least one inlet provided with the installation is a gas inlet, preferably a CO 2 inlet.
  • the at least one mixing unit comprises at least two inlets being liquid inlets, preferably at least three liquid inlets, and more preferably at least four liquid inlets.

In addition, the direct voltage (DC) electrolysis equipment can be connected to and controlled by a Cl 2 detector.
